1 History of Indian Education Prior to the arrival of the Europeans, traditional American Indian education emphasized survival and learning to be contributing community and family members of tribal nations. Education was relevant, purposeful, culturally appropriate and connected children to their culture, genealogy and the universe. Teaching was conducted by elders, leaders, extended family, nature, clan and family members who affirmed and held their young people to high standards. The invasion of Europeans brought significant changes to every aspect of Native life. Disease and war reduced the Native population to one-tenth of its original numbers by the late 1800 s. This decline greatly impacted cultural life and the ability to resist the negative impact of colonization, including the aggressive strategies to gain access to Native lands, resources and labor. One of the most insidious strategies to accomplish this was to colonize the minds of Native children. Beginning in 1794 the United States government made almost four hundred treaties with Native nations; one hundred twenty of them contained educational provisions. According to Reyhner and Eder (2004) the U.S. government saw the provision as proper trade off for Native lands. Colonial education replaced the family and community as the primary teachers of Native children with non-native teachers who saw the children as having cultural deficits that needed changing. Unlike Native education which was nurturing and affirming, colonial education was often punishing and humiliating, forcing Native children to give up their Native languages and culture or risk ridicule and physical abuse.
2 The miseducation of American Indians actually began before the birth of the United States of America with the first Jesuit school created in Initially colonial education of Native children was parochial but later included a federal system. The tenets common to colonial education of American Indians were: 1. Native peoples were savages and need civilization. 2. Civilization required Christianization. 3. Native communities should be politically and legally subordinate to the nation state and church, even if meant relocating them. 4. Specific pedagogical methods were needed to overcome deficits in mental, moral and physical characteristics. At no other time in U.S. history did the church and state cooperate as much as they did during westward expansion. As a result of this partnership the churches acquired large tracts of Native land and benefitted greatly from the free labor provided by Native children and adults. At the end of the so called Indian wars a retired army captain and Indian fighter by the name of Richard Henry Pratt approached the United States congress about his idea of killing the Indian and saving the man through the creation of a federal boarding school in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. As the primary architect of the federal Indian boarding school system, Pratt wished to continue the battle with American Indians through a type of peaceful war that would take Native children far from their homes, assimilate them into White society with the hope of them never returning. It was believed that this effort would end the Indian problem, open up Native lands and resources to White development and assimilate Native people into the framework of American society. For
3 Native people the trade off did little to improve their lives but rather added another layer to their many historical traumas. Boarding school life was harsh. Of the first 136 students Pratt recruited in 1879 to attend Carlisle, 26 died at the school, several others were sent home because of illness and died later. Health conditions were poor at the boarding schools and diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza, and trachoma were prevalent. Malnutrition was common and students worked physically hard every day to maintain basic operations of the school. Learning was secondary in most boarding schools; with many students graduating with little more than a third grade education. In addition to the physical toll taken as a result of the boarding experience, Native children were also robbed of right to use their Native language and practice their culture. The plan was to erase anything that made the children Native thus fulfilling Pratt s goal of killing the Indian, saving the man. The result of this practice has been cultural and linguistic genocide leaving Native people without the ability to fit in anywhere after leaving boarding school. The children often spent years in the boarding schools, rarely returning home and when they did return they often could no longer speak to their family and community members who only spoke Native languages. The consequence has been many Native languages once spoken in the United States are now extinct and of the 175 Indigenous languages still spoken 80% will become extinct by the next generation unless drastic measures are taken to save the languages. (Indigenous Language Institute, 2002). The impact of language loss has also greatly impacted the loss of culture. Coupled with Native children being raised outside of their homes and communities, the results have been devastating.
4 According to Association on American Indian Affair, by 1976, 25 to 35% of all Indian children were being raised outside their homes and communities although Native people made up less than 1% of the US population. Eighty-five percent of those children were being placed in non-native homes or institutions. It wasn t until 1978 Congress passed the Indian Child Welfare Act which was created to reverse these negative trends and protect the best interests of Indian children and to promote the stability and security of Indian tribes and families". Of the 141 federal boarding schools created in the United States government, 65 still exist. Although education in the boarding schools has changed significantly since the early days, the legacy still lives in the hearts and minds of those who experienced it. It continues to require critical reflection and healing. Decolonizing Indian Education The painful legacy of the Native boarding school experience has been difficult to overcome. To reverse the negative impacts of colonial education it is going to take transformational Indigenous scholars and educators to find solutions. Some gains have been made through the creation of initiatives such as; Native teacher education programs grounded in Native languages and culture, Pre K-12 Indian education programs, preschool language nests, Native alternative and charter schools, tribal colleges and the development of Native research protocols. But there is still much work that needs to be done to break the bonds of hegemony. According to Linda Tuhiwai Smith (1999) education and politics cannot be separated. She argues decolonization for Native peoples is a political goal; a goal of social justice and self-determination, which is expressed
5 through and across a wide range of psychologically, culturally, socially and economically. It must be a process of mobilization of peoples, transformation and healing.
